Life as Spiderwoman

Venom - Part 2

________

The team had brought us into the cafeteria, and we were sitting on a table, eating.

Well, actually, only Peter and I were eating, the others were laughing at pictures of Peter with the missing piece in his costume that had already been uploaded on the internet.

"Okay, that I didn't need to see.", Ava said, while sitting down right next to Peter. "But why did we find out about this from Fury and not you?", she asked, but he didn't even look her.

He went on eating and said with his mouth full of spaghetti, "Err, because I just got here? You guys aren't my mummy and daddy!", he said angrily.

"Stand together, or fall alone, Pete! That's why we wanted to talk.", Danny said in a calm voice.

"You wanna talk? Well, why don't we talk about how you make me blow off my best friend! My time is my time, that is the deal we made with Fury!", Peter said, looking at me for affirmation.

I just nodded, noticing the strange look Sam gave me.

"We also made a deal to work together, remember?", Luke said.

"Yeah! You gotta job now, Parker! You don't need to kiss up to moneybags fro cash anymore.", was what Sam said, the exact moment Harry stepped behind him.

He banged his tray onto our table and ran away.

Peter gave Sam an angry look and immediately ran after Harry.

"There are many paths between mind and mouth, you should try using them some time.", Danny said.

I got up and ran after them, not before I had given Sam another angry look.

"Wait, Harry, I can explain!", Peter shouted at Harry.

Just then I arrived next to Peter.

"You both don't need to explain anything. You have your detention friends to save your butt now."

"They are definitely NOT our friends!", Peter and I said at the exact same time.

"Oh yeah, then what are they?", Harry asked, completely uninterested.

"It's... complicated.", Peter said and stopped walking.

"It didn't use to be.", Harry said and then he was gone.

"Typical Peter Parker finesse.", I heard a voice saying, and suddenly MJ appeared out of nothing and opened a locker that we were standing next to.

"Not now, MJ.", Peter said.

"You mean: How do I fix this, MJ? Then I say: Harry feels left out. So include him. Bring the new kids to his place tonight. By the end of the first film it'll be like old times with new friends.", she said and winked.

"If you say so.", Peter said, and smiled at her.

When she had left, Peter and I were really not in the mood to go back to our team, so went to our last lesson and flew home afterwards.

When it was evening, Peter climbed through my window into my room, he had already called the team to meet outside Harry's penthouse and so we left together.

When the elevator opened on the 20th floor, Peter said: "Think of it as a team bonding. Just without the costumes and fighting - and stuff."

Just as Sam wanted to say something, and I was sure it was going to be something mean, I stepped onto his foot to stop him.

"Ouch!", he said, looking at me confusedly.

Seconds after Peter had knocked the door, some opened it. And it was not the kind of someone I wanted to hang up with tonight.
